Developer's Voice

"I legit made this game for my Science Fair project, which was a small hovercraft. But this game really has no correlation with hovercrafts and explains nothing about it. I don't even think it gets mentioned in the game. I'm still glad I made this game though, as it formed a lifetime friendship that lead to the creation of the Secksmen, which is a novice competitive fighting game team I formed with someone who got impressed by this game when I showed it off in class. I'm still embarassed about showing it off in class because of the super cringy dialogue that just shouts out 'The developer is a weeaboo!'"

Pointless Development Facts

The protagonist of this game is unnamed but Chair decided to make him another Joriel in the Android supposed sequel, Memories of Faith. He appears as a final boss in that game.

The game was made in celebration of Chair making a pseudo mini hovercraft as her science fair project. The hovercraft is the protagonist's tool for travel in this game. The game was actually shown during class, leading a student to ask Chair to develop Dirge of the Fallen.

Each boss represents a member of Lame Dimension. The extra boss, however, is not based off a member of Lame Dimension but simply an artist who was about to help the team. The mugshot for each boss is simply an anime'd version of their IRL picture.

Chair almost discontinued the game during stage 3, but continued after playing more Touhou and learning better bullet patterns. This is why the first three stages feels more like a typical scrolling shooter game than Touhou.

The final boss's final spellcard involves a Pacman minigame, which takes some of the format of one of Mr. Prez's first game, which was a Pacman clone, and fixing its flaws.

The final boss's initial mugshot that was scrapped due to it looking too shota; final bosses must look scary
